ESPN: SportsNation co-host Michelle Beadle leaving
NEW YORK — ESPN could lose its two most popular female sports personalities. Michelle Beadle, co-host of the SportsNationafternoon show with Colin Cowherd, is leaving, ESPN president John Skipper confirmed Tuesday here at the network’s upfront presentation in Times Square.
Sideline reporter Erin Andrews’ contract is up too. She’s in negotiations on a new deal. But Andrews has been doing entertainment coverage for sister Disney network ABC and starring in ad campaigns for Reebok and Diet Mountain Dew. It remains to be seen whether she’s outgrown sports.
ESPN got good some news on the talent front late Monday when rising star Scott Van Pelt, a longtime SportsCenter anchor and host of The Scott Van Pelt Show on ESPN Radio, verbally agreed to a new multi-year deal.

Johnson goes from head Hurricane to Hall of Famer
NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Johnson was asked if he ever considered getting back into college coaching and responded by taking out his phone and scrolling through his pictures.
“There’s where I live on the ocean,” he said. “What I spend my time doing is …”
And Johnson showed the small crowd gathered around him a photo of himself and a 250-pound blue marlin he caught one morning, fishing by himself off the coast of Florida.
“They realize now I’m not coming back,” said Johnson, who went 52-9 and won the 1987 national championship in five years at the University of Miami before leaving to become coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Rebels-Eagles set for tonight at Trustmark
OXFORD — When rain forced the postponement of Ole Miss and Southern Miss’ game in Pearl on April 3, it created a bit of a scheduling nightmare for both sides.
The No. 25 Rebels and Golden Eagles now must play five games each this week, starting with today’s 6:30 first pitch at Trustmark Park, at a time neither can afford a letdown.
Ole Miss (28-16, 10-11 SEC) will start freshman Josh Laxer from Madison Central. He’s 3-0 this season with a 5.51 ERA, with three midweek starts on his record.

Brett Favre forced to testify in lawsuit filed by massage therapists over sexual texts
A judge in Manhattan refused to dismiss a case filed by massage therapists against the New York Jets and Brett Favre, meaning the future Hall of Famer will have to testify about sexually suggestive text messages.
Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Tolle, a pair of former massage therapists with the Jets, claim that Favre sent them sexually suggestive text messages and they lost their part-time jobs with the team when they complained to management about Favre’s alleged behavior.
The Jets claim, per the Associated Press, that the lawsuit is “completely without merit.” However, the Manhattan Supreme Court judge presiding over the case wouldn’t dismiss the case.

Arkansas hits a home run hiring John L. Smith
We’re not even to May yet, but Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long gets the early vote for Administrator of the Year in college football.
Long did the right thing – even though it was the hard thing – when he fired super-successful coach Bobby Petrino. Long handled that difficult duty with enough fortitude and passion that it turned fan disappointment and anger into pride in the institution. Big-money donations immediately flowed in after Long deposed his duplicitous coach.

Kate Upton, Mark Buehrle welcome Philip Humber to Perfect Club
Humber also got a text from his former teammate and fellow Perfect Club member Mark Buehrle.
Buehrle said he texted “Welcome to the club!” to Humber after Humber finished the perfect game.
“When we got back to the room, I turned it on after the sixth inning and followed it on the computer. Then they broke in on Fox for that ninth inning and I got to see the end of it,’ Buehrle told reporters, including Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post. “I was sitting in my bed nervous, just the anticipation of not knowing what was going to happen, just waiting to see if he’s going to get it. My palms were sweating. I felt like I was more nervous laying in bed yesterday than I was on the mound during mine.”

Petrino, and ultimately Arkansas, get what they deserved
People generally have to wait to get what they deserve. In the case of Arkansas coach — make that former Arkansas coach — Bobby Petrino, it was worth the wait.
It took nearly five years, but the Atlanta Falcons received some well-deserved redemption when Petrino was fired Tuesday night by the Razorbacks athletic department for unfairly hiring his mistress and intentionally misleading the school following a motorcycle accident on April 1.
Petrino left Louisville for the Falcons in 2007. He revamped the team and quickly lost the locker room. Then, with three games remaining in the season, he abruptly snuck away to accept the Arkansas job without meeting with the Falcons players.
Although Petrino turned Arkansas into a national power with a 21-5 record the in the past two seasons, he continued to be unfaithful to the people who entrusted him the most.
